“back to normal.”

What do those words even mean now? There can be no doubt, after two years unlike any we have lived through, that the world is a different place. We have all learned a lot, about ourselves and each other.

Here are some things we have learned at The Shaw: To experience theatre, you need to be there, live, sharing a space with other people.

Theatre can happen in gardens and up trees as well as in theatres.

What happens before and after the show is just as important as the performance.

All of which explains why the computer can only supplement what we do, not replace it: what is the point of watching a play if, at the end, you simply click a button and go back into your online echo-chamber?

Instead, here you are, about to watch a performance among people you don’t know. Please don’t waste the opportunity. Turn to your neighbour, in the interval, or at the end, and ask them: “What are you thinking?” tim carroll, artistic direc tor

A LASTING IMPACT

Thank you, Leo!

“The Shaw was a major part of our theatre experience for me and my late partner, Denny. I fondly reflect on our many lively discussions after every performance.

It became obvious to Denny and me, that we wanted to leave a legacy to ensure that The Shaw will continue to encourage such conversations and provide inspiration – something that is so needed in our world.

Thank you, Shaw Festival.”

Director’s Note

by Sanjay Talwar

As we slowly emerge from two years of pandemic life, one thing is clear: the world is very different and will never be the same as it was. Or is it we who have changed?

While the easing of pandemic restrictions may be leading to a sense of everything getting back to “normal”, it’s strangely difficult to see that normal in the same way as before. Plus, the situation in Eastern Europe is perhaps the greatest threat to global stability in a generation. The future feels very uncertain, the past far away, and we find ourselves in a very odd now.

The characters with whom you are about to embark on a journey in this serious-comic/ comically serious play are similarly at a crossroads in time. The world is not what they were led to believe or what they thought it was, and the future is most unclear.

What begins as a search for excitement and pleasure – for real life, leads to a search within for a discovery of self in that uncertain world. Some will find new paths to explore, some will despair, but it is only through searching within, this “nakedness of souls,” that they have a chance to find that path... and microbes.

Digested Question Marks

by Christopher Wixson

“Mr Bernard Shaw does not know what to think! The problem is too hard! When, at last, Mr Bernard Shaw does know what to think, will the world emerge from the mental gloom in which, in company with him, it is now so unhappily plunged?” So harangued an April 1, 1902 letter to The Times on the subject of smallpox vaccination that was signed “your obedient servant, A Microbe.” While this April Fool’s prank must have delighted Shaw, Too True To Be Good, his play that features just such an outraged, outspoken germ, would not be written until 1931. But critics would seize upon its pessimistic tone as proof that the playwright had effectively tossed in the Shavian towel. “What right does an old man have,” one reviewer wrote, “to throw up his hands and surrender every belief he holds?”

In 1914, Shaw’s reputation had been seriously tarnished upon the publication of Common Sense About the War, a pamphlet in which he villainized inept foreign policymakers, militarist and nationalist interests within both the British and German governments, and an uncritical public gulled by media propaganda. His views were widely denounced, even by longtime allies and friends; bookshops and libraries removed his plays from their shelves while theatres stopped producing them. By the end of the subsequent decade, though, buoyed by the international success of Saint Joan (1923), the Nobel Prize for Literature (1925), and an approbative reconsideration of his Common Sense, GBS was again a national institution and a global celebrity. But the horror of the Great War and its aftermath had intensified his impatience with the incremental process of Fabian social reform and deepened his disappointment that the practice of democracy had become bogged down in “nothing but talk,” seemingly ineffective in remedying mass unemployment or averting the emergent threat of a second armed conflict.

If Heartbreak House (1916-17) had depicted the socially privileged whom Shaw felt had abdicated their responsibilities before the catastrophe, his first play of the 1930s would be a sequel of sorts, set among its ruins.

Shock waves from the war and modernity itself have displaced all of Too True’s main characters, who find themselves “falling, falling, falling endlessly and hopelessly through a void in which they can find no footing.” Their alienation infuses a kind of free-floating artifice into identity and renders existence a vaudeville roleplay of shifting disguises and poses.

Even racial, gender, and class difference are performances, exaggerated into absurdity and overturning traditional hierarchies. As one critic lamented, “all, all are gone – the old familiar faces of duty, of faith, of belief in convention. What shall replace them?”

Subtitling it a “Political Extravaganza,” Shaw sidesteps expected contours of plot and structure in favour of a creative blend of allegory, farce, and the Shavian play of ideas, seasoned by both surrealist and expressionist elements. The result is unique – a shapeshifting vision that follows the path of a dream and travels along currents of what he called “serio-comedy” towards a “torrent of sermons.” Its trajectory mimics that of Shakespearean romance, in which unlikely reunions of estranged family members become chances for reconciliation and individual rebirth. Thematically concerned with such faith healing, Too True may be an autopsy but is not an obituary.

Irked by the “unusual intensity of resentment” that greeted the play’s February 1932 American premiere and the critics’ simplistic assumption that the cynical despair expressed by many of the characters was shared by their creator, Shaw quickly crafted an Author’s Note to be included within the Malvern Festival programme that August and later a preface to the published edition in order to clarify the intent of his “experiment.” Shaw maintained that he had not “recanted, renounced, abandoned, or demolished anything.” For him, this dispiriting feeling of “no place to live, no certainties, no workable morality” was in fact a transformative opportunity rather than a blight. He contended that “extremely practical and practicable remedies, including a complete political reconstitution, a credible and scientific religion, and a satisfactory economic scheme” – by now, familiar Shavian panaceas – were “discoverable by anyone under thirty.” As a public intellectual, Shaw had advocated for such measures for decades to counter the toxic injustice draped in hypocritical idealism that he felt invalided every citizen, affluent and destitute alike. “Admission to the ranks of the idle rich [is the] sole prize which our villainous capitalist system has to offer,” he wrote, “and [can’t] possibly confer either happiness or health or freedom on its winner.” Any play though that pitied the wealthy was always going to be a tough sell in the depths of economic depression.

Beginning with the flip-flop in its idiomatic title, Too True turns upon a series of comedic reversals and unmaskings among a group of eccentric type characters, hovering in the first act around a sleeping young girl with “an unhealthy complexion.” By her side is an indignant Microbe who claims it has been made ill by the Patient rather than the reverse and a Doctor resigned to having to humbug the credulous Mother and her only surviving child. In cahoots with the Nurse to steal the Patient’s necklace, the Burglar bears more than a passing resemblance to Man and Superman’s Jack Tanner and to Shaw himself but also is a returning soldier, a recurrent trope in 1920s British plays of veterans looking back in anger and recrimination over how society had gone on after the war.

The figure further evokes a fixture of fascination in Edwardian popular culture. Against

the backdrop of a spike in home invasions across London suburbia (hyped by sensationalist periodicals), the sympathetic burglar was often cast as a social victim and occasionally even as an activist. G.K. Chesterton’s Smith in Manalive (1912) declares: “I take back the wealth stolen by the capitalist, not by sweeping civil war and revolution, but by reform fitted to the special occasion.”

Too True’s Burglar chooses instead to preach emancipation to his intended victim, exhorting her to “strike for freedom” from the medical-industrial complex and the domestic tyranny of helicopter parenting and middle-class morality. If, as Shaw’s wife Charlotte felt, Too True was “a play of revolt” in which members of the lost generation throw off the shackles of respectability and discard the lies they were fed that misrepresented the world, what is at stake for them is how to move forward from disillusion.

T.E. Lawrence, upon whom Private Meek was based, diagnosed Too True’s contagion as “leaving you to go off down the street with a question mark in your stomach.” In our own century, lately staggered by new earthquakes into soberly re-assessing our histories and practices, we recognize the play’s anxious and precarious landscape, symptomatic with volatile mistrust and resentment, and remain deeply divided over the direction of our recovery.

The problems are hard. But not too hard, as long as those question marks can be digested into nourishing occasions for growth.

Shaw intended his depiction of the characters enjoying “the sort of good time they had in the nightmare of 1914-1918 to deter [anyone] who witnesses it from relieving the tedium and worthlessness of idle gentility in that way.”

While its preface is emphatically directive, Too True in performance never arrives at a definitive prescription. Even though the Burglar makes clear that patients have within themselves the power to cure, Too True’s characters by the end have not yet escaped the miasma of their time but are navigating it differently. Some form new progressive-minded coalitions, entered into provisionally and sensibly. Among those left on their own, one forges ahead in purposeful self-sufficiency while another spirals into existential paralysis, occupying the theatrical terrain that will be charted in later decades by Samuel Beckett.

In the final stage direction, though, Shaw cannot resist tipping his hat not towards the professional talk-maker but to the people of action who can minister to those who are disenfranchised and improve our prognosis. In doing so, he suggests where our faith should properly reside. The play infects us with the Patient’s delirium in order to revitalize our instincts towards equity, community, empathy and public responsibility, all of which animate that “unladylike sisterhood” the playwright affirms and together form the world’s best chance to emerge from the mental gloom in which it is now so unhappily plunged.

Too True To Be Good, 2022

Author’s Note by bernard shaw

Too True To Be Good was written for Malvern; but as the Malvern Festival comes only once a year, the Theatre Guild of the United States captured the first performance, with Poland a good second. The American critics (whom you must carefully distinguish from the American public) on the whole disliked the play. I am used to that; but this time they annoyed me by taking the young gentleman-soldier-burglar-chaplain in the play to be the mouthpiece of my own opinions and the mirror of my own temperament, and informing the world that I am finishing my life in a condition of pitiable but theatrically very tiresome disillusion and despair, having recanted all my professions, renounced all my convictions, abandoned all my hopes, and demolished all my Utopias.

Many people are like that, both in America and here: if you hint that there is not a paradise they call you a pessimist, though they never stop grumbling at the abominable way in which they are being treated by their own Governments. They also never tire of repeating that I point out evils without suggesting remedies, and am therefore not a practical man. Lest our English critics should start all that over again when they come down to Malvern – and many of them are quite capable of it – let me hasten to assure them that I have not recanted, renounced, abandoned, or demolished anything whatever, and that extremely practical and precise remedies, including a complete political reconstitution, a credible and scientific religion, and a satisfactory economic scheme, are discoverable by anyone under thirty (the older ones are past praying for) who will take the trouble to bring his or her education up to date by retiring into a House of Study and Contemplation and reading my works carefully through from beginning to end. I wrote them with a view to that; for though my trade is that of a playwright, my vocation is that of a prophet, with occasional lapses into what uncivil people call buffoonery. If my admirers dislike these lapses they should take care not to make me laugh, and to remember that there are others who think that I am endurable only when I indulge my unfortunate sense of humor...

In my play the ex-war nurse and the ex-airman-ace persuade a respectable young lady, too respectable to have ever had a good time, to come with them and enjoy the sort of good time they had in the nightmare of 1914-18. My stage picture of the result of the experiment will, I hope, deter any respectable young lady who witnesses it from relieving the tedium and worthlessness of idle gentility in that way.

The demonstration is rather funny at first; but I know my business as a playwright too well to fall into the common mistake of believing that because it is pleasant to be kept laughing for an hour, it must be trebly pleasant to be kept laughing for three hours. When people have laughed for an hour, they want to be serio-comically entertained for the next hour; and when that is over they are so tired of not being wholly serious that they can bear nothing but a torrent of sermons.

My play is arranged accordingly.

Production History Too True To Be Good premiered on February 29, 1932, at the National Theatre, Boston, in a pre-Broadway tour that also visited Washington, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. The cast included such now familiar names as Leo G. Carroll, Beatrice Lillie and Claude Rains. The English premiere came that August at the Malvern Festival (a precursor of the Shaw Festival, in that its repertory was built around plays by GBS). The cast of that production, which transferred to London in September, included Cedric Hardwicke, Ralph Richardson and (in London) Donald Wolfit, all of whom were later knighted.

It was revived on Broadway in 1963 in a production which starred Robert Preston, Lillian Gish, David Wayne, Cyril Ritchard and Glynis Johns. The Royal Shakespeare Company production in 1975 starred Ian McKellan and Judi Dench. It was not seen in London again until 2009, when Sarah Norman staged it at the Finborough Theatre.

The play’s first appearance in Canada was in October 1932, a touring production that played both His Majesty’s Theatre in Montreal and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. This is its fifth appearance at the Shaw Festival, following productions in 1974, 1982, 1994 and 2006.

The Author GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950) the acclaimed dramatist, critic and social reformer, was born in Dublin where he grew up in an atmosphere of genteel poverty.

He attended four schools and was tutored by a clerical uncle, but left his formal schooling behind him at the age of 15. He developed a wide knowledge of music, art and literature under the influence of his mother, a singer and vocal music teacher, and as a result of his visits to the National Gallery of Ireland. In 1876 he moved to London, where he spent his afternoons in the British Museum, and his evenings pursuing his informal education in the form of lectures and debates. Shaw declared himself a socialist in 1882 and joined the Fabian Society in 1884; soon he distinguished himself as a fluent and effective public speaker and an incisive and irreverent critic of music, art and drama.

Shaw’s first play, Widowers’ Houses, was produced privately in 1892, for the memebers of a progressive theatre club called the Independent Theatre Society. It was followed by The Philanderer and Mrs Warren’s Profession.

Published in Plays Unpleasant (1898), these reflect Shaw’s admiration for the “new drama” of Ibsen. More palatable, though still rich with challenges to conventional middle-class values, were his Plays Pleasant (1898) which included Arms and The Man, Candida, The Man of Destiny and You Never Can Tell. In 1897 Shaw attained his first commercial success with the American premiere of The Devil’s Disciple, which enabled him to quit his job as a drama critic and to make his living solely as a playwright.

In 1898 he married Charlotte Payne-Townshend, an Irish heiress whom he had met through his Fabian friends Beatrice and Sidney Webb.

Shaw’s plays first attained popularity in London through a famous repertory experiment at the Royal Court Theatre from 1904 to 1907. Among his plays presented there were the premieres of John Bull’s Other Island (1904), Man and Superman (1905), Major Barbara (1905) and The Doctor’s Dilemma (1906). His best-known play Pygmalion, was first performed in 1913. During World War I, Shaw’s anti-war pamphlets and speeches made him very unpopular as a public figure. In Heartbreak House (performed 1920) he exposed the spritual bankruptcy of the generation responsible for the carnage. Next came Back to Methuselah (1922) and Saint Joan (1923), acclaim for which led to his receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature for 1925. Shaw continued to write plays and essays until his death in 1950 at the age of 94.

Director SHAW 2022: Director for Too True To Be Good; appearing in Chitra and The Doctor’s Dilemma; 8th season. I was inspired to pursue professional acting by a professor in university, who asked me if I was interested in auditioning for the acting program there.

I was majoring in another subject and taking her theatre course as an elective. I was interested and, sensing I needed a push, she told me I’d fail her course if I didn’t at least apply for an audition.

I thought it was a nice compliment…until I got my marks and saw the “F”. I applied for an audition the next day, and three years later completed the program and began a journey that has led to the Shaw Festival.

Movement Director SHAW 2022: Movement director for Too True To Be Good and Everybody. One of the greatest discoveries I’ve had as a parent is learning to shrug my shoulders when my children say, “I’m bored.”

Always within minutes they start a project, or make up a game, far more interesting and fun than any “proactive activity” I could ever come up with. From my daughter defying physics by attempting to climb up the stairs while sitting inside a cardboard box, to my son reinventing the microwave in a post-apocalyptic Lego world, I witness advancements in science and ALEXIS MILLIGAN technology that extend far beyond logic and reason and into the worlds of dreams and possibilities…and how delightful that my work as an artist is also just that.

SUE LePAGE

Set Designer SHAW 2022: Set designer for Too True To Be Good.

I have been a theatre designer for more than forty years, so it must suit me. I love stories and ideas, and every day I work with tailors, carpenters, actors and directors who love these things too. My big start in theatre came when I lip-synched “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” to a roaring crowd of extended family at the cottage. The designing evolved gradually with lots of learning on the job, as well as training.

The Shaw shows I’ve designed that are most vivid in my memory are You Can’t Take It With You, Born Yesterday and Ragtime – not because of how they looked, but because of how they felt. I could name many, many more, so it’s a pretty great way to make a living.

JOYCE PADUA Costume Designer SHAW 2022: Costume designer for Too True To Be Good.

Several years ago, while working on a theatre production with several children in the cast, I met the mother of one of these actors – a young girl who had never acted before.

The girl was ecstatic to be trying on her costume for the first time. In the midst of the fitting, she turned to me, very seriously, and asked, “Is this your job?” I told her, “Yes, I’m a costume designer.” Her eyes lit up. “I didn’t realize playing dressing up was a JOB!” She was giddy as she left the room. At opening night, her mother very grimly informed me that her daughter no longer wanted to act, but, instead, wanted to be a costume designer. I still laugh about it to this day.

Lighting Designer SHAW 2022: Lighting designer for Too True To Be Good; assistant lighting designer for Damn Yankees and The Doctor’s Dilemma. I have fond memories of coming to the Shaw Festival with my family over the years. The Mystery of Edwin Drood in the Royal George was a personal favourite when I was young. It has been a pleasure to be involved with numerous productions there, including the seasonal favourite A Christmas Carol.

JOHN GZOWSKI Growing up in the performing-arts world as a dancer, with a keen interest in design and production, I was fortunate to meet, learn from and collaborate with designers, including Graeme S. Thomson and Roelof P. Snippe. Their kindness in sharing their craft, experience and knowledge not only shaped the beginning of my theatrical journey, it also inspires me to collaborate thoughtfully with my colleagues and to illuminate the minds of young aspiring designers as they did for me.

JOHN GZOWSKI Composer / Sound Designer SHAW 2022: Composer/sound designer for Too True To Be Good. Born and raised in Toronto, I originally planned to be a guitarist, but kept getting asked to write music for shows; which I fortunately learned is just as fun and interesting. My pandemic pivot has been going back for my masters in composition, studying the application of the predictive mind model to music and creativity. Here at Shaw, The Divine, Dracula and The Hound of the Baskervilles are a few shows that I’ve worked on that have really made me proud.

Over the years at Shaw, I’ve played a wide array of characters: a circus strongman, a suburban milquetoast, an Oxford undergraduate, a Revolutionary War lunkhead, a Victorian detective, a music-hall compère, a Chicago crime reporter and a Chicago gangster, a balletomane, a travel writer, a Prime Minister, a publican, a vicar, a priest, a hired killer, a conflicted lawyer, a German general, a Norwegian painter, an anecdotalizing actor, an ineffectual director, a Russian estate manager, an Okanagan farmer, a silent-film legend, an Italian dictator, a Roman emperor, a medieval knight and the whole Russian army. Plus a couple of butlers. Thanks for being here and enjoy the trip!

PATRICK GALLIGAN

The Elder SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good, Cyrano de Bergerac and Everybody; 19th season. In the fall of 1985, I was in my fourth year of undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto and awaiting the results of the Law School Admissions Test I had recently written. At the same time, I had been cast as Fedotik, one of the junior officers in Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, at U of T’s Hart House Theatre. Entering Chekhov’s world of heartache and hope, and immersing myself in the rich history of that theatre, changed everything for me. Any thoughts I had of following my father, and his father before him, into the legal profession were put on hold while I asked myself: “If I could do anything professionally for the rest of my life, what would it be?” Soon after, I began applying to theatre schools, one of which (thank God) accepted me.

The Doctor / Sergeant Fielding SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good and The Importance of Being Earnest; 17th season. One of the first times anyone gave me money to perform was for a gig in which I played a robot of my own invention that walked around a Shoppers Drug Mart during an after-hours cosmetics application workshop.

My performance concluded with the robot rapping about its love for and subsequent addiction to cosmetics, because applying them to its face made the robot feel more human. I thought the piece was quite clever and subversive. This could have been noteworthy for the five full-of-regret audience members, had I better resembled a robot and, perhaps more crucially, remembered the words to the rap.

A tough lesson learnt in a Chilliwack drug store, and one that I aim not to repeat for you today.

The Nurse SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good and Cyrano de Bergerac; director for Shawground; 16th season. Growing up in Nova Scotia, I had the great fortune of finding my regional theatre early in life. The company created an apprenticeship of sorts that allowed me (who couldn’t afford to train) a chance to learn on my feet. More companies should endeavour to find creative ways to support young actors from a workingclass background. If you find yourself able, search out ways to facilitate this in your own community. It can change a young artist’s life. Inspiration in our work comes from many places and I’m eternally grateful for, and inspired by, my partner and our wee boy. “This is the true joy in life; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” – GBS.

The Microbe SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good and Everybody; 8th season.

My first theatre memory was of my older brother playing the Frog Prince in his grade-three school play. I sat in a classroom at J.E. Horton Public School in Kingston, Ontario enthralled by the magic taking place. When my brother emerged from the cardboard wishing-well, wearing the frog hat my mum had made him, I truly believed he had come from a tremendous depth, not a crouch on the classroom carpet. I would like to think the play spoke to me with its themes of love, redemption and transformation. However, it probably had more to do with my brother getting his own song, a shiny vest and a kiss on the cheek from a girl in his class.

I returned to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a second season to tackle the Big Ideas in these plays. Dying. And living. Examining what and whom we value. Searching for ways to move forward when our institutions have been rocked, split and sundered. Thank you for joining us inside the theatre again; it’s so much more fun with you in the room. I hope these productions spark some engaging conversations in the lobby.

GRAEME SOMERVILLE The Burglar SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good and The Importance of Being Earnest; 20th season.

The entreaty of Henry V’s chorus to “eke out our performance with your mind” is what enthralled me from a young age to this life in the theatre. Raised in Cambridge, Ontario, I spent many summer evenings of my youth being driven to Shaw and Stratford and then, for a few hours, being transported into Illyria or Rome, down into the alleys of Canning Town, or up into West End drawing rooms. As the chorus in Henry suggests, the audience never really forgets that they are sitting in a theatre of an evening; that the marble is a cunning paint job, the stars are electric, and the characters are but players with a memorized script. But every so often, our imaginations intertwine and together we transcend.

JONATHAN TAN Private Meek SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good; director for A Year With Frog and Toad in Concert, appearing in Shawground; 12th season.

One of my favourite on-stage moments happened during a performance of Peter and the Starcatcher, right after Black Stache (Martin Happer) chops his hand off by closing a large trunk on it (unleashing a torrent of oh-my-gods and omigawds from Marty – which already had us stifling fits of laughter). As the gasps and guffaws subsided and the audience started to settle, a little voice from the back of the house – a boy of maybe six or seven – giddily squealed at the top of his lungs, “OH MY GAAAWD!!” Without missing a beat, Marty froze, locked eyes with the boy, paused, then snarled, “Oh. MY. God.” We all lost it. And the howling and laughter that followed – audience and actors alike – still happily rings in my ears today.

JENNY L. WRIGHT The Elderly Lady SHAW 2022: Too True To Be Good; A Year With Frog and Toad in Concert, Fairground and Shawground; 26th season. When I was a tween, a friend’s mom took us to see a touring show in Regina, Saskatchewan. It was a two-and-a-half-hour drive from my hometown of Swift Current. We saw Anne of Green Gables.

I’d never seen a live musical. I was completely entranced by the big dance numbers. Years later, studying in Montreal, I fell in love with acting through community theatre. I wound up playing Anne in a Concordia University production which toured to Hong Kong – still one of my favourite theatre experiences! I joined the Shaw ensemble in 1996. I’m proud to have “grown up” as an actor in this very special company, learning from some of the best along the way. Niagara-on-the-Lake is home for me with my spouse, two kids and many animals.

Stage Manager SHAW 2022: Stage manager for Too True To Be Good and Everybody; 21st season. As a little girl growing up in Toronto, theatre companies would perform at my school. I loved it so much that I would beg my teacher to let my friends and me put on a play we had ‘made up’ during recess. Fast forward many years, I returned to my old elementary school with the COC’s school production of The Magic Flute. My first show here at Shaw was working with director Neil Munro on The Man Who Came to Dinner. Two of my favourite shows here were Floyd Collins and When the Rain Stops Falling.

Assistant Stage Manager SHAW 2022: Assistant stage manager for Too True To Be Good; A Year With Frog and Toad in Concert, Fairground and Shawground; 4th season. My favourite Shaw production I’ve seen is The Sea (2015) – it’s the one that made me want to work here. It takes place in a tailor’s shop with transitions consisting of fabric bolts coming down and “washing” the set away. I watched the show while listening on headset. It was the first time I had heard a stage manager calling a show and it clicked for me how integral they are to making a moment come to life on-stage. The stage manager’s understanding of a cue can make or break it. Feeling yourself breathe with a show, totally in sync with so many elements…it’s magic. By the time the last set piece got washed away I knew this is what I wanted to do.
